Sorong City is also known as the "Oil City" and the economic center at the western tip of Papua. Sorong is the largest city in West Papua Province and the second largest city in Papua Indonesia, after Jayapura City.
Geographically, Sorong City's location is very strategic as it is the gateway and transit point to West Papua Province. Sorong's economy is largely supported by industry, trade, and services. However, Sorong is surrounded by regencies that have very potential natural resources.
Sorong City's leading commodities are agriculture, plantation, and service sectors. In the plantation sub-sector, the highlighted commodities are cocoa, coconut, and cloves. Its tourism includes nature tourism, traditional tourism, and cultural tourism.
The intensity of cargo shipping from and to Sorong City has increased since West Papua Province obtained special autonomous region status in 2007. Since then, materials needed to accommodate development in various sectors must be brought from outside the island.
